I was using Linux mint and attracted by Garuda Draganized version by its look. But after I switched to Garuda Draganized, I realized I made a big mistake. I am going to list out some of the problems.
- Slack application login is not working no matter what browser I use. I tried Brave, Chrome, Vivaldi. Slack application redirects to browser when I click on login and I continue to login on the browser tab and at the end, it redirects me to slack app, but slack app not working after that too. I don't think its browser related problem as I tried multiple browsers.
- I am using vivaldi browser for my daily browsing. When I open slack website on vivaldi, it continuesly crashes after few minutes. I never seen one website can bring down my entire browser application in any other OS. I tried disabling psd, installign vivaldi for all users, nothing worked.
I am not a quick judger. I tried to stick around with Garuda Linux for some days now. But it really wants to go away from me.
I am using multiple applications like pycharm community ide, zoom, youtube app, virtual box, authy, google authenticator, discord, whatsapp app, google chat app, etc.. I haven't tried any of these apps in garuda linux yet and I don't want to. Because I am really not sure how much bugs are you hiding in those apps in Garuda linux. I have no other choices other than switching to another OS now. I am a big fan of Linux for my productivity based works and Garuda Linux disappointed me a lot.
I don't want to troubleshoot anything now. Because I just wanted these apps to work out of the box in linux distro and it worked in that way in all other linux distros except Garuda linux. I just want you to know these problems are really existing in your Garuda linux.
